Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

The Thor Broadcast H-2ADHD-QAM-IPLL is our new all-in-one devices that integrates encoding

(MPEG-2, MPEG-4/AVC H.264) and modulation to convert HDMI/YPbPr /CVBS (Pr in) signals

etc to digital RF output. To meet customers’ various requirements, the H-2ADHD is also equipped

with 1 ASI input, and output with 2 ASI ports and 1 IP port.

The signals source could be from satellite receivers, CCTV cameras, Blu-ray players, and OTA

antennas etc. Its output signals are to be received by TVs, STB and etc with the same corresponding

standard. Thor Encoder/Moudlator’s are readily used in public places such as metro, market hall,

theatre, hotels, restaurants, stadiums, private TV headends for advertising, monitoring, and any

other visual displays necessary.

Chapter 2 Installation Guide

Please use caution when operating this device in order to abstain from any possible injury during

installation. For this reason, please read all details listed below and make and use caution before

proceeding to operate and use this electronic equipment.

2.1 General Precautions

./ Must be operated and maintained in an area free of dust and debris.

./ The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the chassis when the power is

on. This will also void Thor’s manufacturer’s warranty.

./ After installation, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.

2.2 Power precautions

./ Be careful when connecting a power source to the device.

./ Do not operate in wet or damp areas. Make sure the extension cable is in good

condition

./ Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting

power are independent to each other. Device power requires

AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please

carefully check before running.

2.5 Grounding Requirement

./ It is important to keep this device grounded to ensure all of the modules function

correctly. Correctly grounding the device will also help prevent any electrical interference,

lightening. Etc. Also it helps reject minor interference that may disrupt the devices ability to

function smoothly. General rule of them, make sure the device is grounded when installing

anywhere.

./ Always use copper wire. When applied correctly the ground must be wrapped well to

ensure maximum conduction so it can reduce any high frequencies. The copper ground wire

should also be as short and thick as possible

./ Installer must make sure that the two ends of the ground are well conducted and have

appropriate anti-rust properties.

./ It is prohibited to use any other device as part of the grounding electric circuit.

./ The area of the conduction between the ground wire and device’s frame should be no

less than 25 .

Chapter 4 WEB NMS operation

Using the LCD digital display and front buttons for setting configuration is always an option

if you are close by, conveniently you can alter the same settings through a computer by

connecting the device to the web NMS Port. Always make sure that the computer’s IP address

is different from the Units IP address; otherwise, it will cause an IP conflict. Below is an

explanation of how you can adjust settings through a web portal

4.1 login

The default IP of this device is 192.168.2.136. We can modify the IP through the front panel.

Connect the pc and the device with net cable, and use ping command to confirm they are on the

same network segment.

E.G. the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to 192.168.99.xxx (xxx can

be 0 to 255 except 252 to avoid IP conflict).

Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder & Modulator’s IP address

in the browser’s address bar and press Enter.

It will display the Login interface as Figure-1. Input the Username and Password (Both the default

Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “LOGIN” to start the device setting.

Chapter 5 Operation of Closed Caption (CC)

Closed Caption, hereinafter referred to as the CC. This unit has analog CC 608 only.

CC is from CVBS source output from IRD or STB etc. Connecting the CVBS cable to the CC port at

the rear panel (as shown in below image), CC can be mixed with A/V inputs to generate programs

with CC.

Chapter 6 Low Delay Setting

The H-2ADHD has a low delay option from encoding to STB decoding side. User can enable the low

delay function in the web-server NMS interface as shown below:

Click “Encoder Param” of “Channel 1” or “Channel 2” to set a low delay mode for each channel:

Low delay: Normal,

Mode 1, Mode 2,

Manual optional

There are 4 low delay modes: 1. Normal: to disable the low delay function.

2. Mode 1/Mode 2/Manual: to activate the low delay function.

DTS Delay, GOP B

frame, GOP P frame

are settable when

choose Low Delay

Mode: Manual.

The delay duration is based on the different combination of Video Format, Video Bit-rate, Low

delay Mode and the Resolution of signal source, which combine together to have a comprehensive

impact on the delay. Please refer to the below table for reference.

NOTE: The delay duration will also be impacted as the decoding performance of the STB side

change. Users need to apply a well-performed STB or other decoding terminals to achieve a low

delay

conditions.

Prevention Measures

Installing the device in a place where the environmental temperature is between 0 to

45 °C

Making sure the unit has plenty of ventilation for the heat-sink on the rear panel; and

other heat-sink bores if necessary

Checking the AC input within the power supply and ensure it is working, the

connection is correctly installed before switching on device

Checking the RF output levels to stay within a tolerable range, if it is necessary

Checking all signal cables have been properly connected

Frequently switching on/off device is prohibited; the interval between every switching

on/off must be greater than 10 seconds.

Conditions needed to unplug power cord

Power cord or socket damage.

Any liquid that got into the device.

Any stuff that could cause a circuit short

Device in damp environment
